Communicate with the backend from point of sale.

Common use case:

 - a click on a button on the pos opens the backend in a popup to a specific view.

Configuration
=============

No configuration is needed.

Developper Guide
================

The POS communicate with subpages (popups) with window.open and window.postMessage. 

Popups are in not-so-old browsers opened in tabs.

When a backend page is open, a class is set on body to hide menus.


Roadmap

- Improve origin verificiation
- Try to use frames instead of popups
- Use notifications for supported browsers
